Pictures of Sergi Canos pointing to the Brentford badge when celebrating his goal against Fulham have been doing the rounds on social media since the 3-1 win.

The 20-year-old forward is a fans' favourite at Griffin Park and he has lit up TW8 with his passion and enthusiasm as well as his kindness to supporters before and after games ever since his home debut against Preston.

I remember that game and wondering, ahead of kick-off, who could come on and change the game if the Bees were losing.

For the record, the substitutes bench that day was goalkeeper Jack Bonham, defender Jack O'Connell, midfielders Marcos Tebar, Ryan Woods, Ryan Williams and Jermaine Udumaga and 18-year-old Canos who had made a brief substitute appearance, his senior bow, against Leeds the week before.

Of course, the Bees went 1-0 down inside the first minute but the Spaniard replaced Josh Clarke on the hour mark and, immediately, changed the game.

Seconds later, Canos set up Lasse Vibe to equalise before Marco Djuricin scored three minutes after and Brentford had a new hero in the 18-year-old, then on loan from Liverpool.

His raw love of playing football shone through immediately in his post-match interview that day and, as time went on, he continued to wow the crowd.

Canos' celebration for his maiden goal against Nottingham Forest exemplified that, jumping into the Ealing Road stand to hug his watching uncle.

His most memorable moment in a Brentford shirt so far came at Reading in December 2015 when he scored one of the best goals a Bees player has scored.

Canos' first touch took the ball past Paul McShane, his second past Michael Hector and his third saw the ball fly into the net for what turned out to be the winner. Bees fans sing to this day: “I wanna know how you scored that goal” to the tune of Hey Baby by DJ Otzi.

As his loan spell came to an end, there was a hope he could return to Griffin Park on a permanent basis but finances didn't allow it to happen with Norwich bringing him to Carrow Road.

However, for reasons best known to Alex Neil, Canos never really was given a real chance to shine for the Canaries and found himself playing for the U23s in the Checkatrade Trophy.

Brentford were able to bring him back in January this year, and Canos confirmed that he had taken a pay cut to come home, and his return was greeted with much enthusiasm from both the Spaniard and supporters. Sometimes a club and a player just click and it certainly seems to be the case with Canos and the Bees.

His style of play is energetic but it also is infectious with his team-mates and supporters feeding off it, even when the scoreline isn't going Brentford's way.

I'd highlight the 4-2 loss at Preston. The Bees were 2-1 down and Canos came on and immediately changed the flow of the game, winning a corner and trying to gee up the supporters.

While it ultimately didn't go the Bees way that day, it was an indication that he was the same player who left to applause and well wishes the previous May.

Injuries have blighted his season so far but his recent performances against QPR and Fulham show the fire is still there and his passion and desire to succeed in red and white stripes is abundantly clear (just check out the gallery below).

What's most beautiful about it is, in a time where you hear players or managers desperate to say or do the right thing for the sole purpose of improving their own image, Canos' enthusiasm is absolutely genuine.

It also speaks a lot for the supporters who adopted him as one of their own so quickly and, when a player gets that bond with the fanbase, it is powerful.

Enthusiasm has a downside such as the yellow card Canos picked up against Fulham or the injury sustained in pre-season.

He struggles in getting through 90 minutes due to running himself into the ground and has only completed the full game four times in 65 appearances for the club.

But, when weighing it up against the positives his style of play brings, I'd rather see a player display the passion the Spaniard has and allow for those minor faults.
